Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to address the risk to the UK’s critical national infrastructure from technological advances in cyber warfare.

The threat of cyber-attack on UK interests is real, every day we witness malicious interference from adversary states and hostile actors. We're continually protecting our systems and have previously called-out activity from Russia, China and Iran.

Our defensive cyber programmes are delivering an extensive suite of capabilities; Defence is working closely with Partner agencies such as GCHQ to deliver the National Cyber Force.
